A Harrowing Ordeal in Broad Daylight
What followed was nothing short of a nightmare. In the midst of broad daylight and on a bustling street in Bengaluru’s Govindapura neighborhood, the Muslim woman wearing the burqa became the target of public ridicule, harassment, and even groping by an unruly mob.

With onlookers pressuring the Muslim woman to shed her burqa and accompany the Hindu man, the atmosphere grew increasingly hostile. The mob resorted to verbal abuse, accusing her of disgracing their faith. Astonishingly, amidst the chaos, the Hindu man remained unharmed, avoiding any physical confrontation with the aggressive mob.
Desperate Escape Attempts
As the situation spiraled out of control, the woman attempted to flee from the hostile crowd. However, the mob relentlessly pursued her, making it nearly impossible for her to escape.
